Provenance:

Private Collection, Ontario

Literature:

Esther Trépanier, Jewish Painters of Montreal: Witnesses of Their Time 1943-1948, Éditions de l’Homme, Montreal, 2008, page 236.

Note:

Borenstein studied under Sherriff Scott and John Y. Johnstone in Montreal in the mid 1920s and early 1930s and associated with artists such as Goodridge Roberts and Fritz Brandtner, exhibiting at the Art Association of Montreal with them.
By the late 1940s, Borenstein had begun to develop the distinct style for which he is most known, “interpreting Montreal cityscapes and Laurentian villages with brilliant colours, exuberant brushwork and bold composition” as exemplified by this painting.
